BACK TO THE BEGINNING — You can ask him

A little dragon had stopped at the edge of the path. She kept looking from Skyblue to the tree, unsure whether to come closer.

Skyblue greeted her.

“Is it true your tree knows how to laugh?”

Ernesto moved a branch.

Skyblue shifted to one side, making room on the grass.

“Come,” she said. “You can ask him yourself.”
